Fisheries Data Management Software Development & Integration

The contract involves the development and integration of a freshwater commercial trip ticket system designed to seamlessly interface with the existing Saltwater Commercial Trip Ticket system known as VESL and align with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s current data workflows. The solution must ensure full compatibility and data synchronization between freshwater and saltwater reporting systems to enable consistent, efficient, and accurate collection and management of commercial fishing trip data across both sectors. The system is expected to support all necessary functionalities for logging, submitting, and processing trip tickets while adhering to existing FWC operational standards and data integrity protocols. This subcontract is scoped for software development services under NAICS code 511210 and is open for responses until July 23, 2026. The work will be performed under the authority of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, with performance location unspecified but understood to support statewide operations. The project’s success hinges on technical integration with VESL, avoiding duplication of efforts, and delivering a scalable, secure, and user-friendly platform that enhances regulatory compliance and data accessibility for commercial freshwater fishing operators and agency personnel alike.
